BMW Reveals 3 Series Gran Turismo (Slideshow)

German luxury-car maker BMW AG revealed a new configuration of its 3 Series car called the Gran Turismo. The stretched four-door fastback is slated to go on sale in the U.S., in 328i and 335i versions, this summer as a 2014 model.

The coming car is a departure from other 3 Series models in that it has a larger, more luxurious interior. It is 7.9 inches longer than the 3 Series station wagon and has a wheelbase that is 4.3 inches longer.

The 328i will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates up to 240 horsepower. The 335i comes with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that puts out 300 horsepower.

The 3 Series Gran Turismo follows the appearance a few years ago of a similar model in the company’s larger 5 Series lineup.
